--- === MiddleClickDragScroll ===
---
--- Allows scrolling by holding down the middle mouse button and dragging it, the same as it works on Windows.
--- Especially useful to quickly scroll to the top or bottom of a page, if you don't have a Magic Mouse.
---
--- Note: Due to OS limitations, it always scrolls the window currently below the mouse, not the window below the position
--- where the dragging started, like it works on Windows. You therefore need to take some care to stay inside the window.
---
--- == Usage ==
---
--- ```lua
--- local MiddleClickDragScroll = hs.loadSpoon("MiddleClickDragScroll"):start()
--- ```
---
--- You can temporarily stop the spoon by calling `MiddleClickDragScroll:stop()` and then restart it by calling `MiddleClickDragScroll:start()` again.
---
--- == Configuration ==
---
--- ```lua
--- local MiddleClickDragScroll = hs.loadSpoon("MiddleClickDragScroll"):configure{
--- excludedApps = {"Some App", "Other app"}, -- Don't activate scrolling in apps with these names
--- excludedWindows = {"^Some Window Title$"}, -- Don't activate scrolling in windows with these names (supports regex, for exact match, use "^title$")
--- excludedUrls = {"^https://geogebra.calculator$"}, -- Don't activate scrolling when the active window is on these URLs (supports regex, only works in Chrome and Safari, asks for extra permissions on first trigger)
--- indicatorSize = 25, -- Size of the scrolling indicator in pixels
--- indicatorAttributes = -- Attributes of the scrolling indicator. Takes any specified on https://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/hs.canvas.html#attributes. Alternatively, you can pass a custom canvas, see the explenation below.
--- {
--- type = "circle",
--- fillColor = { red = 0, green = 0, blue = 0, alpha = 0.3 },
--- strokeColor = { red = 1, green = 1, blue = 1, alpha = 0.5 },
--- },
--- startDistance = 15, -- Minimal distance to drag the mouse before scrolling is triggered.
--- scrollMode = "pixel", -- Whether the scroll speed is in "line"s or "pixel"s. Scrolling by lines has smooting in some applications
--- -- and therefore works with reduced frequency but it offers much less precise control.
--- scrollFrequency = 0.01, -- How often to trigger scrolling (in seconds)
--- scrollAccelaration = 30, -- How fast scrolling accelerates based on the mouse distance from the initial location. Larger is faster.
--- scrollSpeedFn = -- How scrolling accelerates based on the mouse distance from the initial location.
--- -- The default is dist^2 / scrollAcceleration^2. You can pass a custom function that recieves `self` as the first argument
--- -- and the absolute distance as the second and returns the resulting speed (in pixels or lines, depending on the scrollMode setting).
--- function(self, x)
--- return (x ^ 2) / (self.scrollAccelaration ^ 2)
--- end
--- }:start()
--- ```
---
--- Unspecified keys are unchanged. You can call `configure` multiple times to dynamically change it but changing `indicatorAttributes` and `indicatorSize` only works when `MiddleClickDragScroll` is stopped.
---
--- Instead of `indicatorSize` and `indicatorAttributes`, you can also pass a custom canvas to `configure` or set it directly to have more control over the indicator style:
---
--- ```lua
--- MiddleClickDragScroll.canvas = hs.canvas.new{ w = 25, h = 25}:insertElement{
--- type = "circle",
--- fillColor = { red = 0, green = 0, blue = 0, alpha = 0.3 },
--- strokeColor = { red = 1, green = 1, blue = 1, alpha = 0.5 },
--- }
--- ```
---
